CALLS LINCOLN REAL HOOSIER
Schricker Recalls Poems He Wrote About State At New Memorial.
Times Special LINCOLN CITY, Ind., May 21.— Governor Schricker, speaking at the laying of the cornerstone for the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, yesterday called attention to the fact that Lincoln wrote at least two poems about his Hoosier boyhood home. Both were the site 15 years after the family had moved away. One of the poems was the melancholy “My Childhood
Home,” and the other & humorous item, “The Bear Hunt.”
‘Raised’ a Hoosier
Governor Schricker said the fact that he was inspired to write these poems when he revisited the site of his Indiana home “proved conclusively that Abe was ‘raised’ a genuine Hoosier.” : The Governor quoted the closing ferse of the serious poem: “The very spot where grew the bread That formed my bones, I see. How strange old field on thee to tread And feel you're part of me.”
Memorial to Democracy
The Governor continued, remindfng his audience “we are standing on that ground now. Surely we may feel that we are on sacred ground. It contains the mortal remains of Nancy Hanks. It was pressed constantly for 14 years by the bare feet of Abe Lincoln. From it grew the bread that formed his bones as 8 growing boy. “Surely we may feel that we are fn spirit associating here with Nancy Hanks and Abe Lincoln. We are erecting here a shrine to motherhood and to: the family

smooth, safe and clean—and stays that way through

Concrete actually costs less than any other pavement of equal load-bearing capacity—and costs far less for upkeep. It saves motorists money by reducing car operating expense. Its non-skid surface is safe to drive on
night or day, wet or dry.
Its cleanliness and attractive

FEARS NEW RAIL PAY WOULD TOP INCOME
CHICAGO, May 21 (U. P.)—C. E. Johnston, chairman of the Western Association of Railway Executives, said .today the 30 per cent wage in-
resiway brotherisoods would call for payroll boosts mére than three times the railroads’ net income ior 1940. “Almost one-third of the nation’s railroads are still in bankruptcy or reorganization,” Mr. Johnston said. “They are staggering under the burden of deficits accumulated throughout the depression.” . He said the railroads were making large capital investments and “straining every effort” to co-oper-ale in the national defense program.

i The order authorizes producers to Misses Irene and Betty Jane Neal|grant discounts ranging from 5c to |
50c per ton from minimum prices in | selling domestic coals to retail deal- | ers from May to August. + It is designed to encourage the]

The boards are seeking permanent seasonal discounts. : : .The discounts depend upon the month sold, size of the coal, and in certain instances the mine in which the coal is produced.

King Station mine of the Princetor. | Mining Co. in Indiana, and to the | Sixth Vein coals and the coals produced by the Sentry Mine of the Sentry Mining Co. in Western Kentucky. 3 Discounts are allowed only on such domestic coals as are suitable for summer storage according to Howard A.
